Hello 2018!

-
Welcome 2018! The excitement of a New Year, and the start of resolutions and big goals. This year will be the year you commit to, and keep your promises to yourself. I know this because you are starting to do the work of brain management and becoming more in charge of directing your thoughts to the life you want to live.
If you continue to take responsibility for your emotions and direct your brain you are going to have an amazing year. Stop living an unconscious life that happens to you. If you stop trying to avoid pain and discomfort with things like over eating, over drinking, over Facebooking, over porning, or over working, and start living on purpose, you will blow your own mind.
One way to become more aware of your brain is to do a daily thought download. This is where you just take 10 minutes of your day and write down all of your thoughts. Don’t be judgmental of these thoughts, just take the time to clean out your brain and become the observer of your mind. It is often fascinating to notice what you are thinking vs what you believe to be factual. Remember - we think an average 60,000 thoughts a day, so the true facts are usually minimal, and the thoughts tend to be super abundant.
Next, take one of the thoughts and look at how it makes you feel. Any of the thoughts will do - there is no right or wrong answer. Consider the actions you take when you feel that way thinking that thought, and notice the results your get in that instance. Your results will always prove your thought true. Now - what do you want to think on purpose? It doesn’t have to go to rainbows and butterflies, a simple shift in the thought will often provide a different feeling, which will lead to new actions, and new results - and BAM - you are on your way to something different.
If you take the time to do this activity daily I promise you will notice a change. Think about how funky your teeth would get if you didn’t clean them daily - now imagine your brain when you don’t take the time to clean it out. Start a new daily habit of cleaning the crazy out, and begin to program new thoughts to get you to your goal in 2018!

How To Stay Out Of Grab-Ass Trouble

I was recently talking with a girlfriend who is in the process of checking out Match for some dating options.  She had a lot going on in her brain, and it had me thinking what marriage, weighing less, or drinking less, have in common.  Being married to one person decreases the chatter in your brain and gives you a lot of freedom with the constraint.  You have committed to that one person - you don’t have to deal with any Tinder swipes, or Match parings - the marriage has taken place, and for the most part, people just honor that commitment. Now - when I talk to clients about setting a protocol for food or drinks there is initially some confusion over what is meant.  Think of a protocol similar to a marriage in that it is a contract, or plan, you are honoring - a commitment to yourself as you move towards your best life.  We set protocols for eating and drinking in order to decrease the chatter of - should I have it, or - I should not have had that, or -...

Are Other People Judging Your Drinking?

May I have all my people pleasers step forward - this is for you.  I think so  many of us care what others think - and often  to the point that you do and act in ways you really don’t want to - but you think if you do they will like you. Here’s what I’ve learned - it doesn’t matter what you do - people are always going to have their own thoughts about you. And if you don’t believe me - think about this -  Have you ever been given a compliment you didn’t really believe or accept because you didn’t think you looked that good?  Have you ever been in an argument and the other person apologized but you didn’t think they were serious and remained angry? Or maybe been on the other side where you apologized and the other person was still angry? So you did and said what you thought was going to make them feel differently - but they didn’t - because they still had their own same thoughts. Not everybody likes peaches right? You could be the juiciest peach ...

Better In the Trash Than on Your Ass

Welcome back to Mindful Weighs Wednesday where we discuss weight loss topics and tools to create the best you. I was recently listening to another weight loss coach who mentioned the food was better in the trash than on your ass.  Of course I chuckled, but it is so true.  Growing up we were always told to finish what was on the plate, but in our large portion society we have to sometimes waste food in order to stay at our ideal weight.   We hate to waste right? But if you are carrying around the extra weight as fat on your body isn't that a waste?   Think about the commitment you have made to yourself.  You have started taking the steps to make decisions in advance by planning your meals, and you eat until you are no longer hungry.  You have a compelling reason you are doing this, and you don’t want to waste your efforts for past beliefs.  I encourage you to remain future focused and really keep thinking about what you want to ...
